Strep Throat

2017-09-16 17:27:19
I had strep throat about 2 weeks ago and i was given antibiotics. After I finished my antibiotics i continued to have a cough. Now for the past two days my throat is starting to hurt again and I am coughing up brown/yellow phlegm. I have fever and a headache. I cough almost to the point of throwing up. Is it possible to have strep throat back to back. Or could it be something else?
